The Annual Run for Empowerment

The Run for Empowerment raises money to support survivors of domestic violence in Chittenden County. Women Helping Battered Women (WHBW), founded in 1974, is the largest provider of domestic violence services and prevention education in Vermont.

Family, friends, and colleagues can create a team to compete for the prestigious Cup of Empowerment. Teams need to consist of 3-10 individuals and must raise at least $500. Each member of the team must be registered separately.

Women Helping Battered Women

WHBW believes that all women and children have the right to live without fear of battering, sexual, physical, emotional, or financial. Their vision is an end of physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse. WHBW changed its name to Steps to End Domestic Violence in 2016.
